Senryu
1) Walking stick ----
the stick I tumble
on
2) child’s slate full of dribble
3) Morning newspaper-- evening trash
4) in
the fall
apple consumed
progeny
5) drumstick hanging
lengthy green
stick
teacher’s aid
blank cheque
rich with multiple
zeroes
after - 1
door lock
clogged
with dust
ashes
look of crave-- bones
and born
again
the wind blasts
staying only the quill
steady
in the incision box
paper cutting goes
don’t
be cruel
Summer
evening
bird glides
down
empty pot stares
back
child’s
vibrant touch
paints glow on
floor
my ankle
broke
onion taste for
tongue
but distaste for
eyes
bristles
of brush
Dyed hair
on her head
